I think they serve as spares. Also, there are three different thicknesses there based on weight and/or structure needs.

Are you going to attach the hook to an arm on the robot or do you have some other means to deliver the hook to the bar?

Just in case you're confused. The bar is 2" Schedule 40 steel pipe. The 2" refers to the nominal INSIDE diameter. Schedule 40 refers to the pressure rating, which determines the wall thickness. The OUTER diameter of the pipe is roughly 2.375". For safety's sake we're assuming 2.5".

Bending our welded hook at a competition would be a real pain.

The hook will be attached to the end of our arm. We will deliver it to the bar with the arm, and then pull ourselves up (there will be a steel cable running to our robot) with a Fisher-Price motor and a ratchet.

*shudders, and pictures the FP gears getting destroyed* Cool design, but given my past experiences w/ the FP motors i cant imagine they'd be the best to use for a winch. Thats jus my opinion, anyways good luck this year.
